Max Verstappen says he enjoyed his good fight with Nico Rosberg at the British Grand Prix, a battle which included an early candidate for overtake of the season at Becketts.Verstappen turned in another fantastic drive at Silverstone, finishing on the podium for the second race in a row. A highlight came on lap 16 when he passed Rosberg around the outside of Becketts while the pair were on intermediate tyres.Explaining the start of his race, Verstappen said: I think in general on the intermediates we had pretty good pace. In the beginning I was struggling to have visibility because of the spray, so I was struggling to keep up because I couldnt see where I was going!But once that cleared a bit I could push and I got past Nico on the outside, the car had a lot of grip around the outside too so you can make that move. From then on the pace is good but you dont want to switch too early to the slick tyre. I had one guy in front of me had blue flags and I could clearly see slick tyre was faster now and I pitted, maybe one lap too late, but you play it a bit safe.Verstappen stayed ahead of Rosberg when the field pitted for slick tyres and kept the Mercedes at bay despite the championship leader having DRS for seven laps. He kept Rosberg at bay with some aggressive blocks coming into Stowe -- one of which Rosberg complained about on the radio -- before the German got by around the outside.Lewis was not pulling away too much and from there on Nico was pushing hard, he was giving me a hard time and we had some good fights into Stowe. We were struggling a bit on the straights but he pulled off a great move around the outside and from there I was just doing my own race, there was no pressure from behind because there was a very big gap.Then I heard Nico had a problem. Of course I tried to close the gap and get past but once you get into dirty air its difficult to get even closer. I think in general we can be happy, we finished only eight seconds behind or something so in general the car has been working well all weekend. I have to say a thank-you to the team for giving me such a great car for the weekend.Verstappen may yet inherit second position, with Rosberg under investigation for the radio messages which helped him finish the race after encountering gearbox issues late in the race.?

WASHINGTON -- The Los Angeles Dodgers-Washington Nationals series will feature another matchup of a veteran starting pitcher against a promising rookie in the finale on Thursday afternoon.Stephen Strasburg (13-0, 2.51 ERA) will start for the Nationals against 19-year-old Dodgers lefty Julio Urias (1-2, 4.95).In the series opener Tuesday night, it was the Nationals who started a rookie, as right-hander Reynaldo Lopez made his big league debut and was tagged with the loss after he gave up 10 hits and fanned nine in 4 2/3 innings.Dodgers veteran Scott Kazmir threw seven innings of one-run ball that night, leading Los Angeles to an 8-4 victory. The Dodgers bounced back to beat the Nationals 8-1 Wednesday.Urias will be summoned from Triple-A for the start on Thursday -- just as Lopez was on Tuesday.It will be the third stint with the Dodgers this year for Urias and his ninth start. He made his last big league start on July 4 at home against the Baltimore Orioles and gave up five runs on six hits in 3 1/3 innings.He has struck out 44 and walked 17 in 36 1/3 this season at the big league level. With Triple-A Oklahoma City, he is 4-1 with a 1.07 ERA in nine games (seven starts), logging 45 strikeouts and just eight walks in 42 innings.Urias faced the Nationals on June 22 in Los Angeles, and he gave up two runs on six hits in five innings. He did not figure in the decision as the Dodgers won 4-3 while sweeping a three-game series.In that game, Urias struck out six and walked one while throwing 94 pitches.The Dodgers need Urias to step up to assist an ailing rotation. Ace left-hander Claytonn Kershaw is on the disabled list due to a herniated back disk, and the timetable for his return is uncertain.dddddddddddd Meanwhile, left-hander Alex Wood underwent an arthroscopic debridement on his left elbow Wednesday in New York City, and he is expected to miss eight weeks.Manager Dave Roberts said of possible surgery for Kershaw, I have not been told that. For me that is just logic. Surgery is more of a possibility ... the way his back responded (after throwing Saturday). We are certainly hopeful Clayton will be back. (He has) no shooting pain. He is trying to keep the focus on his teammates.As for Wood, who is 1-4 with a 3.99 ERA in 10 starts this year, Roberts said. He was pitching so well.The same can be said for Strasburg, the first National League starter since 1912 to begin a year 13-0.Strasburg was slated to pitch against the Dodgers and Kershaw in Los Angeles on June 20, but just before the game, he was pulled due to an upper back strain. He wound up on the disabled list before returning July 3.In his past four starts, Strasburg is 3-0 with a 0.94 ERA. He threw eight innings of one-run ball Friday in a 5-1 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates.Hes been outstanding, Nationals manager Dusty Baker said Friday. His record speaks for himself. It seems hes in the best shape of his life. We urged him to increase his work in between starts; it seems like it has paid off.Strasburg has made four career starts against the Dodgers, going 1-0 with a 1.71 ERA. ' ' '
